Η Διαμαντή Ελένη είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και διατηρεί το Κέντρο Ψυχοδράματος & Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας "Διάδραση" στην Παιανία, έναν χώρο αφιερωμένο στην προσωπική εξέλιξη και τη συναισθηματική αποφόρτιση. Πιστεύει ακράδαντα ότι η θεραπευτική διαδικασία είναι μια ζωντανή εμπειρία που υπερβαίνει τη συζήτηση. Για τον λόγο αυτό, η προσέγγισή της βασίζεται στο Ψυχόδραμα, μια μέθοδο που προσκαλεί το άτομο να «δράσει» τις εσωτερικές του συγκρούσεις αντί απλώς να τις περιγράψει, στοχεύοντας στη διαρκή ανάπτυξη της προσωπικότητας.

Είναι πτυχιούχος και κάτοχος Integrate Master του Τμήματος Θεάτρου Σχολής Καλών Τεχνών Α.Π.Θ., με ειδικότητα στη Θεατρολογία - Δραματολογία και τα Θεατροπαιδαγωγικά. Ολοκλήρωσα τη διπλωματική της εργασία αναφορικά με την επίδραση του Θεάτρου στους εφήβους και παρακολούθησε με επιτυχία επιμορφωτικά σεμινάρια ("Παιδί, τραύμα και πένθος", "Ιχνηλάτιση παιδικής ζωγραφιάς", "Σχολική Ψυχολογία"). Σήμερα εκπαιδεύεται ως Ψυχοδραματίστρια και Συντονίστρια Ομάδων του Ψυχοδραματικού Κέντρου Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας (ΨΥ.Κ.Α.Π.), αναγνωρισμένο στην Ευρώπη (μέλος της FEPTO). Η πρακτική της πλαισιώνεται από συνεχή εποπτεία, διασφαλίζοντας ένα ασφαλές και δεοντολογικό περιβάλλον για κάθε θεραπευόμενο. Η 5ετής εμπειρία της ως συντονίστρια θεατρικού παιχνιδιού της επέτρεψε να κατανοήσει βαθιά τη δύναμη της δράσης και του συμβόλου. Έτσι, ενσωματώνει αυτή τη γνώση στην ψυχοδραματική της πρακτική, βοηθώντας τους θεραπευόμενους να ξεκλειδώσουν τη δημιουργικότητά τους και να προσεγγίσουν τον εαυτό τους με έναν τρόπο πιο άμεσο και ζωντανό.

Σε αντίθεση με τις παραδοσιακές μορφές θεραπείας, το ψυχόδραμα χρησιμοποιεί τον αυθορμητισμό και τη δημιουργικότητα. Μέσα από τεχνικές όπως η εναλλαγή ρόλων, εξερευνώνται σχέσεις και τα όρια, οι όροι στην οικογένεια, την εργασία ή τη σχέση του ατόμου, η διαχείριση άγχους, η ανάδειξη των πηγών πίεσης και η εύρεση νέων τρόπων αντίδρασης, η αυτογνωσία, η επαφή με το "εδώ και τώρα" και η ανακάλυψη της αλήθειας του ατόμου.

Το Κέντρο Ψυχοδράματος & Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας "Διάδραση" στην Παιανία είναι σχεδιασμένο για να προσφέρει την απαραίτητη άνεση και ελευθερία κινήσεων που απαιτεί η βιωματική εργασία. Στόχος της είναι να δημιουργήσει μαζί με τους θεραπευόμενους έναν "ασφαλή τόπο", όπου κάθε σκέψη και συναίσθημα μπορεί να πάρει μορφή και να μετασχηματιστεί.
